About this home

Your slice of waterfront paradise awaits in the exclusive gated boating community of Hawks Harbor in Bradenton. This rare deep-water enclave of just 54 custom-built homes is one of the area's best-kept secrets, offering direct access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico with no fixed bridges—an exceptional opportunity for avid boaters and waterfront enthusiasts.

Perfectly positioned on a tranquil canal, this stunning three-bedroom, three-bath residence offers 2,978 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, complemented by an extraordinary 1,900+ square feet of garage space. With room for up to six vehicles, plus boats, golf carts, paddleboards, fishing gear, and other recreational toys, this oversized garage is a dream for collectors, hobbyists, and outdoor adventurers alike.

Built for lasting beauty and peace of mind with three levels of concrete block construction and a heavy-gauge metal roof, the home seamlessly blends timeless coastal architecture with modern functionality. A lighted pathway leads to your private dock, featuring water and electric service, a 10,000-pound boat lift with newer motors, and a custom fish-cleaning station designed for three anglers—perfect for preparing the day's catch after exploring the pristine waters of the Bay and Gulf.

Inside, soaring ceilings, expansive windows, Travertine flooring, and elegant stone surfaces create a light-filled atmosphere that celebrates the waterfront setting. The chef-designed kitchen offers exceptional workspace, storage, and flow, making it equally suited for entertaining guests or preparing intimate meals at home.

French doors throughout the residence open to multiple outdoor living areas, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and the natural beauty beyond. Outdoor spaces span three levels and include two covered terraces on the main living floor, a heated pool and sun deck below, and a private third-floor balcony overlooking the water.

The primary suite serves as a true retreat, offering a romantic sanctuary elevated among lush tropical landscaping. Wake each morning to serene views of swaying palms and vibrant greenery, then step onto your private balcony to enjoy breathtaking sunrises, gentle coastal breezes, and panoramic water vistas. This peaceful haven perfectly captures the essence of luxury waterfront living.

A spacious loft with a Murphy bed provides flexible accommodations for guests, a home office, or an additional lounge area. The great room features a ventless natural gas fireplace, adding warmth and ambiance to gatherings year-round.

Additional conveniences include a chair lift from the ground level to the main living area, ideal for transporting groceries, luggage, heavy items, or assisting guests. Recent updates include soffits, gutters, and air conditioning for added peace of mind.

Ideally situated between downtown Sarasota and downtown Bradenton, Hawks Harbor offers convenient access to Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, IMG Academy, St. Armands Circle, acclaimed dining and shopping destinations, renowned arts and entertainment venues, and the world-famous beaches of Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Anna Maria Island—many of which can even be reached by boat.

Experience the very best of Southwest Florida waterfront living and discover the unmatched lifestyle that awaits at this exceptional Hawks Harbor residence.
